In this Nov. 29, 2014 photo, shows the capital city of Tegucigalpa, Honduras at dusk. Street gangs control most schools, where a lot of the students are gangsters, along with their parents. It can’t exactly be said that street gangs are recruiting in Honduran schools because gangs in Honduras don’t need to recruit. In a country of limited opportunities, more schoolchildren want to join the violent Mara Salvatrucha, 18th Street and other newly formed gangs than the illegal bands can absorb.
